Preliminary Inspection and Cleaning
Immediately after the camshaft has been removed from the engine look for any clear signs of damage that cannot be corrected by reconditioning.
Clean the camshaft with a high-pressure hot washer, solvent, a degreaser or a caustic solution, and rinse. If the method of cleaning does not contain a corrosion or rust inhibitor coat the camshaft with clean engine oil or a rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion or rust. A corrosion or rust inhibitor should be applied within one hour after cleaning.
Personal injury can result from working with cleaning solvent. Because of the volatile nature of many cleaning solvents, extreme caution must be exercised when using them. If unsure about a particular cleaning fluid, refer to the manufacturer's instructions and directions. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with cleaning solvents. |
Operating a power washer without proper protective equipment can result in personal injury. Wear the necessary protective equipment before operating a power washer. The necessary projective equipment includes a face shield, protective clothing and rubber gloves. |
Personal injury can result from improper handling of chemicals. Make sure you use all the necessary protective equipment required to do the job. Make sure that you read and understand all directions and hazards described on the labels and material safety data sheet of any chemical that is used. Observe all safety precautions recommended by the chemical manufacturer for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. |

Equipment to Inspect and Polish Camshafts
Illustration 4 | g01430365 |
Inspection Equipment |
Illustration 5 | g01430389 |
Polishing Equipment |
Tappets or Followers
During normal engine operations, the mating surfaces of each camshaft lobe and tappet or follower establish respective individual wear patterns. If a tappet, or follower is switched to a different location in the engine, the established wear patterns on the camshaft lobes may be incompatible. This could result in premature wear to either the camshaft and/or tappets. Remember the following four items for evaluating the reusability of tappets or followers.
- If a camshaft is used again, make sure that the original tappets or followers are installed in the original locations or replaced with new tappets or followers.
- New tappets or followers and used tappets or followers that have a normal, smooth wear pattern can be installed with a camshaft that is used if the camshaft does not have wear on the camshaft lobe that can be easily seen or felt. Caterpillar recommends installing a replacement camshaft if the tappets or followers or the camshaft has heavy wear.
- Tappets or followers can be reused with original camshaft if in "like new" condition. Used tappets or followers cannot be installed on a new camshaft. Do not use any tappets or followers that operated against damaged camshaft lobes.
- A tappet or follower is wearing normally if the wear surface has a “mirror-like” texture. The dull appearance of the contact surface of the tappet or follower could indicate rapid wear of the tappet or follower and camshaft and the tappet or follower should be replaced.
Camshafts with Lifters
When reusing an original camshaft and lifters, the lifters must be installed in the original location and original orientation. Do not use any lifters that operated against damaged camshaft lobes. Used lifters cannot be installed on a new camshaft. A new camshaft requires the use of new lifters.
Visual Inspection
Examine camshafts only under proper lighting. The best results of inspection can be obtained by rotating the camshaft and moving the camshaft to avoid lighting glare. Poor lighting conditions could cause damage to be missed during visual inspection.

Camshaft Magnetic Particle Inspection
Note: The camshaft must be cleaned thoroughly prior to beginning any inspection work. Dirty camshafts can contaminate the solution and mask indications. Be careful not to damage the camshaft with improper and abrasive cleaning, even a small amount of damage may mask indications.
Some camshafts can have fissures or cracks in the flange area. Therefore, inspect the flange area visually and then with the magnetic particle method to reveal any cracks or weakness. If cracks or fissures can be seen without magnification or magnetic particle inspection, the camshaft cannot be reused. Also, if any cracks or fissures in the flange area are revealed during the Magnetic Particle Inspection, the camshaft cannot be reused.
Illustration 68 | g03342709 |
Illustration 69 | g03342777 |
If there is a crack in the flange area of the camshaft, do not reuse the camshaft. |
Note: Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8042, "Resue and Salvage for Crankshafts" for additional information on how to perform a Magnetic Particle Inspection.
Measuring the Straightness of the Camshaft
Every camshaft must be checked for maximum allowable runout for the journal. The maximum allowable runout for the journal is
Illustration 70 | g06222962 |
Measurements that are used to determine the straightness of the camshaft (D) Length of single segment (E) Length of half of the camshaft |
Illustration 71 | g06340222 |
Illustration 72 | g06340224 |
Illustration 73 | g06340225 |
Multiply dimension (D) or dimension (E) by the maximum allowable runout for the journal. The result is the total allowable indicator reading.
Procedure to Check the Straightness of the Camshaft
Illustration 74 | g01545633 |
Camshaft that is resting on two vee blocks that are for support |
Illustration 75 | g01545973 |
Measuring runout of the camshaft |
Place the vee blocks that are for support under the first bearing journal and the last bearing journal. Ensure that the camshaft and vee blocks are stationary. Use the 8T-5096 Dial Indicator to measure runout.
Lubricate the camshaft bearing journals and install the camshaft into the engine block. Use a torque wrench on the rear end of the camshaft and check the amount of initial torque that is required to rotate the camshaft inside the camshaft bearings.
Polishing
After cleaning the camshaft, visually inspect each camshaft journal and each camshaft lobe for damage.
Polishing camshafts makes use of identical procedures, materials, and required equipment as polishing crankshafts. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8042, "Reuse and Salvage for Crankshafts" for polishing instructions.
Any camshaft lobes with corrosive damage (rust), minor damage from debris (indentations), and fatigue pitting need to be polished before determining reusability. Follow the procedures below to polish a camshaft lobe with “touch-up” polishing.
- Polish the camshaft lobe with Emery polishing paper. 1U-6858 Abrasive Material (200 grit or less) should be used. This part of the procedure is the “rough polishing” of the camshaft lobes.
- Polish the camshaft lobe with Emery polishing paper 1U-8283 (600 grit or less) should be used. This part of the procedure is the “fine polishing” of the camshaft lobes.
- Wash the camshaft or clean the camshaft after polishing to remove any excess grit or debris from polishing.
NOTICE |
---|
Keep all parts clean from contaminants Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shorten component life |
Procedure to Measure the Surface Texture of the Camshaft
The maximum permissible surface texture for camshaft lobes and bearing journals is listed below in Table 4. The surface texture of the camshaft lobes and bearing journals can be checked with a profilometer that measures the surface or roughness.
Illustration 76 | g01546195 |
Measuring the surface texture or roughness of the camshaft lobe |
Illustration 77 | g01546399 |
Measuring the surface texture or roughness of the camshaft bearing journal |
A profilometer must meet certain criteria.
- The profilometer must have a power drive that will strike the lobe or the bearing automatically.
- The radius of the stylus must be approximately
0.013 mm (0.0005 inch) . - The profilometer should have a cutoff length of
0.80 mm (0.032 inch) .

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the camshaft from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the camshaft has been cleaned.
When the camshaft will not be inspected for one hour or less the camshaft should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The camshaft should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 78.
When the camshaft will not be inspected in two days or more the camshaft should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and contamination to the camshaft. See Illustration 79.
Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
